Digital Labs: film producers
The Ukrainian film industry of the independence era is very young. In 10 years of its existence, we started creating films that win prizes at international festivals, but there is still much to learn.
During the Digital Lab, prosperous film industry pros from the EU, UK, and Ukraine will define the role of producer on each stage of cinema production: from finding the right scenario to searching for funding to shooting to promotion. Producers, directors, screenwriters, actors, and technical team representatives will share their experiences. In the end, you will learn more about cinema production and design your own project of a video.
The Lab will run for nine days from 7 to 15 September 2021. We invite translators: you will communicate with foreign experts fluently.
